Conexant AccessRunner ADSL USB modems with Linux

About

This site is intended to provide support for using the ADSL USB modems
based on the popular Conexant
AccessRunner chipset with Linux. Here you can find out which modems are supported, how to obtain and upload
the firmware to the modem, what you need to
add the driver to your kernel, and how to
establish an Internet connection through
your ISP.

Please note that this site is under construction, and many pages are
incomplete. Stay tuned!

Credits

Most of the credit goes for Josep Comas, who has
created this project on the SF.net,
accumulated a lot of information about the AccessRunner chipset, and
created and maintained the software bundle needed to use the ADSL USB
modems based on this chipset.

He's been helped by a number of
brave people who are also to be credited with the creation and the
maintenance of this project.

During some period of inactivity Francesco Zuliani provided support and
maintenance on his alternative
site.

Recent progress of the project was inspired by the advent of the
usbatm infrastructure added to the Linux kernel by Duncan
Sands and David Woodhouse.
